We have a
different definition of "Free" I downloaded both
Linux and Winblows versions of this client app. Didnt pay
anything for them. Can call other PC's with Skype for
nothing all day long.
Can you install and use the Linux version without root
privileges? Have you compared your disks before and after
installing and using the thing?
I guess Skype will not install malicious software components.
But the client is free - today. It's like free heroine. As
soon as the world will depend on it, it will not be free
anymore. That's the reason why I'll never use Skype.
